Martinez, Lavonte, and BK should be on there

Are they good academically? If not, they shouldn't be on this list.

Anyone have numbers on how we stack up compared to the other B1G schools?

Nebraska has the second highest amount of players on the list with 26. Northwestern has 31.

Had no idea Cassidy is working on his MBA already. Good for him.

3 Huskers have been named Academic All-American

Three Huskers Earn Academic All-America Honors

Senior safety Austin Cassidy, junior running back Rex Burkhead and junior linebacker Sean Fisher were named to the Capital One Academic All-America Division I football team on Thursday, as chosen by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

Cassidy was a first-team selection for the second consecutive year, and was joined on the first team by Burkhead, while Fisher earned second-team honors. Nebraska was one of three schools with two players named first-team Capital One Academic All-America team, including Army and Montana. With its three overall selections, Nebraska was the only school with three players on the first- and second-team lists.

The selection of the three student-athletes continues Nebraska's Academic All-America tradition. Nebraska now has a nation-leading 67 first-team CoSIDA Academic All-America selections in football, including 14 double winners. Cassidy became Nebraska's first two-time first-team selection since Kyle Vanden Bosch in 1999 and 2000. Overall, Nebraska increased its total to 102 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans when including 35 second- or third-team honorees.
